I estimate the total cost of the chicken pasture electric fence installation to be around 75 dollars which ended up including the following items.

• Zereba K9 lawn and garden charge controller
• small bag of yellow plastic insulators
• about 300 feet of electric fence wire
• a half dozen small metal fence posts

Each bag of insulators comes with enough nails, but I prefer using drywall screws because it makes adjustments easier after you've got it all together.
